if you didn’t manage to snag one at the

show, it’s still available to you. In any

case, it’s not the seller that the Mustang

or the MiG-23BN are, and it can be assumed that it will be available for a few

months yet. The same can be said for

the MiG-21MFN (Weekend, 1:72nd).

This kit deviates a bit from the norm of

Weekend kits, thanks to the inclusion of

some resin.

Among the kits that are still available

through the Afterparty offer is the Jules Verne sub, which is a resin fantasy

submarine in 1:35th scale, and was the

souvenir kit for participating ship modellers this year. It garnered some interest, and there have been requests for

it. There are still some 40 of these kits

available, so, again, if you want one of

these, you’d probably better not wait.

Also available through the Afterparty

event are another two of these souvenir kits, dubbed Ponyrex 1 and Ponyrex

2. These are the good ‘ol ‚Velorex‘ kits

in 1:72nd scale, painted up in the style

of two P-51D Mustangs. Our e-shop will

also be offering the admissions P-51D

Mustang in 1:144th scale.

Sometime over the course of next

week, we will be holding an auction of

several models. These will be one each

of a P-51D-5 and MiG-23BN, and three

of the Excalibur P-51Ds in 1:48th. The

first two will be autographed by the entire Eduard team from this year’s E-day,

and the three Excaliburs will be signed

INFO Eduard - October 2019

by the pilot of the only flying Mustang

in the Czech Republic, Miroslav Sazavsky.

Turning our attention over to accessory items, the best selling piece at

E-day was the ZOOM set for the P-51D-5.

We had a total of forty on hand, and all

sold. That is not a new item for October,

but it does point to the attractiveness of

everything P-51, and also to that of the

LööK sets.

Among the October accessories, the

Mustang sets logically dominate, weather it is the big set covering the cockpit,

or the small wheel sets with the various

tread patterns, two sets of propellers,

the complementary photoetched set,

inner and outer surface TF masks, or

the bronze landing gear legs, made with

a new casting technology. These are

very nice, by the way...little jewels. Incidentally, these are made with jewelry

developed technology. It should also be

remembered that there were three sets

released in August already, including

the aforementioned LööK sets.

There are also accessory items being released for that MiG-23BN. These

include Brassin Kh-23M ground attack

missiles and their associated pylon.

Other items of note include two sets for

the new Hummel from Tamiya in 1:35th

scale. There is a list of new sets in 1:32nd

scale: the I-16 from ICM, F6F-3 from

Trumpeter and the F-104G from Italeri.

Likewise in 1:48th, there are new items

for Bobcat’s Il-28T, A-6A Intruder from

Hobby Boss, the H-34 (Gallery MC) and

our own MiG-21bis. That latter item, by

the way, has become a best-seller! In

1:72nd, we have some new sets for the

Bf 109F-2 from Revell (ex-Zvezda) and

the Tornado GR.1 (Italeri). There are also

six new BigEds and one new BigSin, the

latter for the Fw 190A-8 in 1:48th scale from us. For ship modellers, we have

prepared the first of two 1/350th scale

sets for HMS Cornwall from Trumpeter.

Of note are the four new decal sheets in

1:48th scale. Two are for the Tempest,

and two are for the Mustang. All complement the ProfiPACK items of those

models for better coverage in the case

of the Overtrees items. All are printed

using new technology and new printing

equipment, as are all new sheets that

are included in October’s releases. Our

new decal sheets were met with much

success and positive response at E-day.

So, I won’t keep you anymore from

your reading of today’s newsletter, for

which I wish you an informative and enjoyable read!

Happy Modelling
